Lockheed to continue to Halifax class support
Lockheed Martin Canada has received a three-year contract extension to its in-service support contract for the Royal Canadian Navy's 12 Halifax-class frigates.
The existing in-service support contract began in November 2008 with the award of the Halifax Class Modernization project. The contract also included support of the legacy Halifax class system prior to ships entering the shipyard for modernisation.
Combat management system (CMS) support includes hardware and software support for the CMS 330 and the CMS to combat subsystem interfaces, ancillary systems and tools, as well as the integration of new weapons, sensors and information sources.
Gary Fudge, VP and general manager of Lockheed Martin Canada Rotary Mission Systems, said: ‘We are pleased by the vote of confidence from our Royal Canadian Navy customer to continue this existing relationship. As part of our combat system integrator portfolio, Lockheed Martin Canada has established a world class in-service support team which is also being recognised by our international customers.’
